What is this PSU wire?

Go to solution Solved by DEDRICK,

Its basically a PCIe cable with 2 6+2 pins on it instead of one, my G2 1000 has them.  I have 4 single 6+2 ports/cables(enough for 2 beast cards) and 2 double 6+2 ports/cables

Shouldn't it say 4x 6+2 pin not 2x 6+2 pin and 6+2 pin vga connector? 4x 6+2 is the only reason I bought the GS over the G2.

It's two cables with two connectors each. Or two cables in one bundle, whatever you would like. G2 is always better than GS.

its still unopened. You can't power a two 8pin graphics card with the 650W G2 but you can with the 650W GS?

You can, you just would have to use both cables on 650w g2, but it's not powerful enough for two 8pin two gpu's anyway.

Really? I thought the GS was the best on the market?

GS is Seasonic, G2 is Super Flower, according to jonnyguru g2 is better.

Because Super Flower thought that no one will put two 2x8 pin gpu's on 650w psu because that's not enough power for two 2x8pin gpu's. There are 750 and 850 for that.

I thought 650w could power to 980s?

It means it has four 6+2 pin connectors, but they're daisy chained, so you get two cables with two connectors each.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Hall of fame is extremely over built designed for sub zero cooling. There is no way you reach that much power draw normally.
